Workshop Goals:
Review existing components, including scripts, models and functions.
Decide on concrete changes to make & a standard "code guide" for all components to follow.

A 1/2 day workshop including people who have had experience working with the components, or have extensive project or STK experience.

As preparation, participants should spend ±1/2 day to re-familiarize themselves with MTE components and create a branch with two components rewritten to the standard they would propose. Ideally textImage and internalTeaser.
(Branch "mte1-[your name]")

Workshop has three parts:
Preparation
2 hour workshop weds morning - to share suggestions & discuss.
1 hour workshop thurs afternoon - to finalize decisions after we had a chance to sleep on it.

Also consider proposal to move MTE templates to new module:

Based on the workshop - implement the recommended chages.

Some possible changes / coding guide topics:

• Moving model logic to templating functions and templates.
• Improve reusability / genericness - possibly by making more atomic.
• Recommendations for how to use MTE in projects. (https://wiki.magnolia-cms.com/display/PMTEAM/MTE+In+Projects)
  • How should people customize the template scripts?
• Approach to i18n.
• Approach to testing / samples.
• Using yaml includes.
• Convention on css classes used.

( Note: How to include css, js, or other resources in MTE for components considered in another workshop: MTE-66)

Workshop goals:

• Work towards consensus.
• Document agreements.
• Document disagreements & remaining questions.
• Define how to resolve disagreements & remaining questions.
• Define tickets for execution of work.
